  Very well in my experience, although I never did a triathlon in October, way too cold.

  This is better, saved me a load of time and effort as well as extending the life of my drivetrain

  I've been using fenwicks all purpose lube, works very well.
  I also invested in a small Bosch builders blower to help dry the drive train and tubs after washing them post race or training.

  If they have your size, the Vitus frames is currently £800

  Depends on the course , starting position and the conditions but usually I try to start on the side that leads to the outside on the first corner. I find the inside always gets snarled up.
  I made up 30 or 40 places last Sunday doing this before my complete lack of fitness saw me drop back again

  The dropped stays reduce the options. Unless it changed since I asked, the frame will only accept a 34 inner ring for 2x . Very annoying, especially when the frame keeps being in the sales

  I'm sure Vitus recommended a 40 for 1x when I asked them about chainring combo's

  Ouch, what size chainring did you have on the Vitus?
  Well done for making it to the start line

  Overtaking is overrated in my experience
